Does it say anything on the charger about input voltage? Most modern chargers are compatible eg 100-240 volts?

"Why has there been no arrests in relation to this?"...... Well I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say maybe cos they are Muslims!!.....

Well he's trying hard to turn it around to look like that, but it won't work! Another BBC fail ?

So the 18,000 shops that are to be closed, will the owners get any recompense from the Government? Its not like they chose to close, they appear to be forcing the closures!

Rwanda perhaps???😉

They said no real firearms were found, BB guns are toys! "Their search unearthed 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition and two BB guns, one short-barrelled and the other long. Importantly, no real firearms were located."

The Chinese won't be happy about this?

So a 'flaps problem. would be a maintenance issue? It doesn't say specifically what the problem was, but probably not being able to extend the flaps to their correct position for take off?? Thai Lion Air would be responsible for its own aircraft upkeep though!

Yes, in some countries they will have a plea bargain, so if you know you did it and you are going to be found guilty anyway, confess and give up any information. In Georgia, plea bargaining is a recognized legal mechanism, often used to expedite cases and reduce sentences in exchange for cooperation or a guilty plea. Retired Georgian police general Jemal Janashia, a professor at Georgian Technical University, explicitly suggested that a plea bargain could be an option for Culley, stating, “A plea bargain should be reached, her profile does not strike me as one of a drug trafficker, she might be a user but I suppose we will find out soon enough.” He noted that her lack of a prior trafficking history could support a plea deal, as the court would assess her criminal profile

My definition would be the same as the definition on the The official GOV.UK website.

I was thinking the the exact opposite, that is one great signature !!

Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home should be your choice, providing its legal?

Well, there was?😉

"These men, whether you like it or not, were born in the UK. They are british citizens" Just because you get born in a stable, doesn't make you a horse!

Correct, there was an article in the Guardian a few months ago..... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/21/digital-passports-among-ids-to-be-available-in-uk-government-app

And if she gets found guilty which is highly likely, it will be lots of time?.....15-20 years, possible Life?

So Good News..?

Report from the Telegraph during the 'alleged' assault, showing some footage from the police body cam and different angles at the airport! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/07/courts-brothers-police-manchester-airport/

Yes quite an horrific attack, how the two Pakistani thugs can deny this is not only amazing, but delusional! The jury have seen this and now cannot unsee it, the only 'defense' would be it was self defense which it clearly was not. The two thugs were 'under arrest' at this point, so the self defense excuse cannot hold up!

"Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Martin Rowley, a Conservative, acknowledged that hosting such events in a diverse, multi-cultural city required sensitivity." In other words, they have gone 'woke' The Military aren't much good if they don't have equipment?

"Both defendants, from Rochdale, deny the charges" Going to be interesting how the defense will explain the CCTV coverage of them breaking the policewoman s nose?

The police never seem to be able to get the organizers? " She also refused to unlock her mobile phone or give her phone’s PIN to police, citing fears of reprisal and intimidation." Sounds like the 'mob'...??

Bilton being out on bail is still in question? A recent report from Thai Examiner (July 6, 2025, 02:21 ) states Bilton “had been out on bail since police raided the venue in April 2023” but was “immediately returned to custody to serve his sentence” after his July 4, 2025, conviction. This suggests pre-trial bail, not post-conviction release. Thai Legal Context: Under the Criminal Procedure Code (Sections 108–114), post-conviction bail is rare for serious crimes like human trafficking (up to life under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act 2008), especially for foreigners. Pre-trial bail (e.g., 2023) is more common, but after a 21-year sentence, courts typically revoke it unless an appeal is filed and granted—none is documented as of July 7, 2025. If Bilton were on bail post-conviction , Thai authorities would hold his passport as a condition. Reclaiming it typically requires court approval and a bond (a cash deposit, often 50,000–500,000 baht, ~£1,135–£11,350, depending on the case), refundable if he complies. Fleeing would forfeit the bond, but this process assumes legal release, not escape. UK Embassy Role: Even with a bond, the UK Embassy wouldn’t issue an emergency travel document if he’s a fugitive . His passport, if returned, would still be subject to Thai and UK alerts via Interpol if he absconds.

The British Embassy in Bangkok or a consulate (e.g., in Phnom Penh if he fled to Cambodia) can issue an Emergency Travel Document (ETD) for lost, stolen, or damaged passports, costing £120 and taking two days with an appointment. Applicants need proof of British citizenship (e.g., other ID) and a valid travel reason. However, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) guidelines state ETDs are denied if the applicant is a fugitive, under criminal investigation, or subject to an Interpol Red Notice. The embassy checks records with UK and host country authorities before issuance.

Correct, they have to by law!
